Process

A defined path, from engagement to settlement.

Before a transaction proceeds, both parties confirm capability and availability through verified documentation. Ocean Hill conducts each exchange in confidence and to a defined standard.

01
Engagement & KYC onboarding

Verified before engagement.

A mandate begins with onboarding. Ocean Hill verifies each counterparty against rigorous KYC and OECD due-diligence standards before any discussion of terms. All information is treated in confidence and retained in accordance with the firm's governance policy.

02
Proof of Funds and Proof of Product

Capability and availability, confirmed.

Before a transaction proceeds, both parties confirm capability and availability through verified documentation. Ocean Hill conducts this exchange in confidence and to a defined standard.

03
Terms agreed in advance

Nothing left to assumption.

Commercial terms — quantity, standard, pricing basis, delivery and settlement — are agreed and recorded before execution. Terms are set in advance and bear scrutiny.

04
Execution

Against the agreed standard.

The transaction is executed on the terms agreed. Metal is confirmed to LBMA standard; tangible assets to their documented specification. Each step proceeds only once the preceding one is on the record.

05
Settlement, custody & documentation

Held, or transferred, of record.

Settlement completes against delivery. Assets are held or transferred under full chain-of-custody documentation, from source to settlement, and the record is retained end-to-end.

All bullion transacted by Ocean Hill is refined to LBMA standard and accompanied by full chain-of-custody documentation, from source to settlement.

Begin

Onboarding starts here.

Verified institutional counterparties may begin the KYC onboarding at any time. All fields are treated in confidence and retained in accordance with our governance policy.
